Localisation is about the translation and cultural adaptation of software, documentation and games, and requires translators with highly specialised skills. The localisation industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and there is a lot of work in the market for translators who possess the right skills.

First launched in January 2009, this online course in Localisation is an interactive e-learning course designed and developed by a practising software localiser with many years' experience in the localisation industry.

As the name itself suggests, Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) is an accessibility service intended for viewers who, due to their hearing loss, cannot fully enjoy audiovisual materials. In the form of the text presented on the screen SDH conveys what is heard in a video material, i.e. speech, music, sound effects, etc. The course is designed to gain more understanding about this particular service and the creation of quality subtitles for the target audiences.
